1.(2025 北辰区三模) Last summer,my tech﹣fan cousin Alex bought an advanced self﹣driving car.
One misty evening,as we drove on a narrow and winding cliff﹣side road,Alex,full of confidence,turned on the self﹣driving mode.At that time,I was nervous.holding the armrest tightly,while Alex casually scrolled (滚屏) through social media,completely ignoring the increasingly dangerous road conditions.Suddenly,a strong deer appeared in the headlights.At that critical moment,the car's sensors,which had been failing unnoticed,went wrong.Instead of braking,the car sped towards the deer.Alex,realizing the danger at the last second,tried to reach for the steering wheel,but it was too late.The car crashed into the deer,and we were shaken hard.Surprisingly,the deer ran into the woods,unhurt.We sat in the damaged car,shocked.
This accident made me reflect on technology's issues.In healthcare,AI robots,sometimes,for speed,misread symptoms,causing incorrect diagnoses.In education,speed﹣focused AI graders may score essays by keywords,missing emotional depth in student stories —like a child writing of sadness,whose words become data,not cries for sympathy.In other words,AI prioritizes speed over correct diagnosis or students' emotional expressions.Philosopher Sherry Turkle's words make sense — "We're sacrificing exactness and sympathy for efficiency."
But this doesn't mean we should reject technology.We should use it carefully and wisely.Just like a compass helps a sailor but doesn't replace his skills,technology should help our judgment,not take over.Doctors could use AI technology as an extra opinion,and compare it with their own knowledge.Teachers can use AI technology to analyze student data and adjust lessons with their own insights,and not to let algorithms (算法) control teaching.
That night,standing by the broken car,I realized that technology,for all its power,depends on us.Over﹣reliance on it weakens our ability to adapt and think.In the end,we,not machines,should shape the future.
(1)How did the author and Alex feel during the drive before the accident? (no more than 10 words)
(2)What contributed to the accident of the self﹣driving car according to the Paragraph 2? (no more than 10 words)
(3)What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 3? (no more than 10 words)
(4)What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? (no more than 10 words)
(5)Do you consider AI technology as a tool to make important decisions in our lives?Please explain in your own words. (no more than 25 words)
2.(2025春 北辰区校级期中) There are certain places on the planet where you can feel a connection with a loved one.That's the way my mother and I felt about Little Italy in New York City.The very streets brought us back to our roots that were planted before either of us was born.It's the spot where,on a hot July night in 1906,my grandfather Tony was born to immigrant (移民) parents. "I was born on the corner of Mott Street," he often said.
Last year,he passed away.My mother was heartbroken.I tried my best to console her.I often accompanied her and took her out for dinner.One Sunday,I invited her to our favorite restaurant.I found a parking space on Mott Street.We only had to walk down the street to reach the restaurant which was around the corner.After walking for several minutes,we found the weather broke.The wind from the storm whipped (抽打)our faces.The storm came.There was no time to return to our car.
"Come on," my mother said.And she grabbed my arm and pulled me into an old tenement(公寓大楼) house,which was,surprisingly,unlocked.When we entered the living room,something struck my mother and she said, "Do you think this could be the building where Grandpa lived?" She took out a pen and wrote down the number.
When we went back home,my mother took out an old box.She handed me a piece of paper which turned out to be my grandfather's birth certificate.It was the same building.With tears in her eyes,she said, "Grandpa didn't leave us and he looked out for us."
Was it a miracle or a coincidence?I didn't have a definite answer but I would rather believe it was a miracle.When Grandpa Tony was alive,he always did his best to protect us.Though he passed away,his spirit was still with us and performed the same duty.I believe that he is our guardian angel and his love will be always surrounding us.
(1)Why did the author have a special connection with Little Italy in New York City? (no more than 10 words)
(2)What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 probably mean? (1 word)

3.(2025春 南开区校级期中)One day I decided to plant a garden in our backyard,and my husband began to paint our fence.We're renters,not owners,and were growing tired of waiting for the day when we would be able to buy something,so we began turning our house into a place we could call home.
We've also taken on new responsibilities:I started volunteering at the city's animal shelter,and my husband has been volunteering for a nonprofit art gallery.Being involved in this way has given each of us an increased sense of purpose and strengthened our ties to the place we live in.
But it's not just the things that you can add to your restart that matter.I'm happy to be able to help out an elderly woman I see struggling with her bag.I know I've done something good when I knock on a neighbor's door and let her know her car lights are still on.I feel I've done my part when I find a lost dog wandering in the neighborhood and return him to his relieved owner.
No doubt it works the other way,too.As we come to care about the place we live in,the people here grow to know and care about us.It feels good to know that when we're out of town,our neighbors are picking up our mail and keeping an eye on our house for us.We're delighted when a neighbor congratulates us on my pregnancy.
This symbiotic(共生的)relationship we're building with our community is exciting and inspiring.As I watch new life sprouting up in my garden,I think about all the possibilities for laying down more roots to this place and growing along with it.And as I think about the baby growing,I am knowing we will be bringing a new person ﹣﹣﹣ a new participant ﹣﹣﹣ into this community,a community he'll call his hometown.

4.(2025春 和平区校级期中)Stress is a condition that arises due to tension and other related factors.Although modern life has brought about many positive changes in our lives,yet there is one thing it has contributed greatly to,and that is mental and physical stress.Many stressful situations arise in our everyday life and in such situations it becomes hard to remain calm.There are various tips and techniques that can help one overcome stress.
One of the most advocated stress management techniques is breathing exercises.It can be done at any time of the day and at any place.Irregular,shallow breathing is observed when a person is stressed.So one must concentrate on their breathing pattern and try to take deep and regular breaths.Deep breathing is one of the best ways to alleviate stress.When a person takes deep breaths,an extra amount of oxygen enters the body.This inflow (流入)of oxygen helps in relaxing the muscles of the body,calming the mind as well as waking up the brain,thereby easing the person's stress that he is going through.
A well﹣balanced diet is crucial for maintaining healthy and helping to manage stress.A healthy diet involves all the essential nutrition in adequate amounts.Eating a good,healthy and nutritious breakfast is a good way to start your day and keep the energy levels up throughout the day.Eating five small meals instead of three large ones help in keeping a person energized too.
The most important of all stress management activities is to manage one's time well.To do this,planning ahead is very essential.Doing the most important tasks first,followed by the lesser important ones will help too.By being consistent with one's work will help in better time management.
Besides the above activities,it is very important that a person gets adequate sleep every day to stay energized throughout the day.Besides,one should also take steps to prevent stress.All these can help to reduce stress and yield positive outcomes.
(1)What stress management tips are mentioned in the passage? (No more than 10 words)
(2)What does the underlined word "alleviate" in paragraph 2 mean? (No more than one word)
(3)What are the benefits of deep breaths? (No more than 15 words)
(4)What is a healthy diet? (No more than 15 words)
(5)How can you deal with your stress?(No more than 20 words)
5.(2025 和平区校级一模) After a long journey,I finally got to the hospital.Lying on the examination table while facing the painfully bright ceiling lights,I fidgeted,desperately trying to ignore the upsetting part of the situation.I attempted to focus on staying warm in the cold room,but what happened days ago kept running through my head﹣the intense pain,the overpowering fear,and the panicky steps in the Emergency Room.I was told I had broken a backbone.I now smiled recalling the innocence of my response:"Do I have to wear a support when I play football?"
I had waited for three months to find out whether I could play football again,but the thought of waiting another five minutes seemed impossible.Then Dr.Pittinger entered.He was friendly,but noticeably uncomfortable,almost sad.He told me that I would never be able to play football again.
The realization sank in immediately.I wasn't surprised,or at least I shouldn't have been,but that didn't make the order any easier.I refused to accept the idea,and for months I continued to exercise.I worked out from five to six every morning.Though I was ashamed to wear the support,I wore it devotedly,with some false hope that the more I wore it,the quicker and better it would heal the backbone.
I was determined to play again.
The fact is that,just as the doctor ordered,I never played another quarter of football.After nights of coming home from exercising,barely able to walk,I finally gave in.For a while,giving up felt like an admitting of defeat rather than the acceptance of a truth that should have been painfully obvious,but over time,I realized like most difficult decisions I have made and will have to make,life would go on.Rather than stick to the undeniably unattainable,I understood that though this particular option was no longer open to me,I had countless others to make in its place.
And by the way,I'm a five﹣star football coach now.
(1)Why did Dr.Pittinger appear"noticeably uncomfortable,almost sad"?(no more than 10 words)
(2)What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?(no more than 8 words)
(3)What did the author do to try to heal his backbone?(no more than 10 words)
(4)How did the author transform his setback into success?(no more than 10 words)
(5)How does the story of the author inspire you?Please state in your own words.(no more than 20 words)
6.(2025 宝坻区校级模拟)When I was young,my mum had a hard time.Five years earlier,my Dad drowned.The burden to raise us kids only fell on my mum's shoulders.Because Dad had no pension,there was not much money.Thus,we went on relief (救济),now called social assistance.
Looking back,I realize what Mum went through,sending us kids to school.Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes,because our soles were worn out.Constant moving was typical for my family in these times.I still remember that once the rent for a house was twenty﹣five dollars a month.But Mum couldn't pay it,and we knew we would be evicted right after Christmas on the first of January.
Unexpectedly,when Christmas was approaching,we received a twenty﹣five dollar Christmas fund for social services.Mum said that instead of buying food,she would use the money to pay rent,assuring us all of a roof over our heads for a little while longer.She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas.
I had a secret that was unknown to Mum.I had been selling Christmas trees,and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of comfortable boots for myself.
Well,the big day came on the afternoon of the Christmas Eve.I was very excited.But on the way to the boots store,I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations.It was then that I realized at our house,we had no lights,no decorations,nor turkey or ham for Christmas.I felt very sad.
I was eleven years old,and I was feeling a strange sense of guilt.Here I was going to buy a new pair of boots while Mum was home in tears.She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents.So finally,I bought a turkey,ham,oranges and all the Christmas treats with my hard﹣earned money.
Later,with great excitement in my eyes,I knocked on the door.When my mum opened the door,some of the groceries fell onto the floor,and she just stood there surprised.Holding back the tears,I said, "Merry Christmas Mother!"
I did a lot of explaining as we unpacked all the food.That day I got enough hugs and kisses from Mum.She said I had grown up.

7.(2025 天津模拟) As an introvert (内向的人) girl,I feared nothing more than stepping outside of my safe little bubble.But things took an interesting turn in my second year of college when I had to take a public speaking class.At first,I thought, "Wow,what am I doing?" However,that summer,I learned to gradually expose myself to stress and anxiety.Roughly seven speeches later.I broke out of my shell and became a whole new version of myself.What I want to emphasize from my story is that it's not enough to just step outside our comfort zones.We must live outside them.
You may be asking, "How do I start living outside of my comfort zone?" The first suggestion I would personally give is "baby steps".Consider breaking up routines and habits,for instance.Even doing something as small as trying a new flavor of your favorite snack can start the process.Then,sample a new snack.After that,order something different for lunch.Finally,you get the idea.That same mentality can be applied to anything under the sun.The possibilities are endless,and trust me,once you start finding your rhythm,you'll find it gets progressively easier to try new things.
Above all,have faith in yourself,because any step is still a step.Don't feel discouraged that you aren't doing as much as you should,or that you're not moving as quickly as someone else.Everyone has it in them to take action and live outside their comfort zones.Do what is right for you.Sometimes,you will need to push yourself.However,pushing yourself too hard will only make you pull back and become overly cautious.After all,the final goal is to find a happy balance between comfort and discomfort,between safety and risk.
(1)What is the author's biggest fear as an introvert? (no more than 8 words)
(2)What did the author learn in that summer? (no more than 10 words)
(3)How can we start living outside the comfort zone according to the author? (no more than 10 words)
(4)What does the underlined word in the 2 paragraph mean? (no more than 3 words)
(5)Please explain how you once stepped outside your comfort zone with an example. (no more than 25 words)
8.(2025 昌平区二模) In today's fast﹣paced,achievement﹣oriented society,productivity is often associated with time management.We often think that to be productive,we need to master time﹣management techniques.But have you ever noticed that when you're emotionally worn out,you struggle to stay organized or motivated?Or when you're overwhelmed,tasks like answering emails or doing laundry pile up?
Unresolved emotions,such as fears of disappointing others or missing out on opportunities,often drive people to over﹣commit.Even with a well﹣organized calendar,you may find yourself squeezing in extra tasks,only to feel overwhelmed and rushed,which can lead to anxiety or even depression.The problem is not your time﹣management skills,but emotional overload.
True productivity isn't about doing more in less time;it's about managing your energy,emotions,and well﹣being over the long term.Research shows that employees who practice emotional regulation experience 20﹣30% higher productivity than those who rely only on time management.
The good news is that emotional management isn't about grand gestures ﹣it grows in small,intentional shifts.Start by pausing before agreeing to new commitments.When someone asks you to take on an additional task,don't immediately agree.Ask for some time to consider it and review your other obligations.Besides,separate your work outcomes from your self﹣worth.By shifting from a perfectionist mindset to a growth﹣oriented one,you will focus on learning rather than only on achieving perfect outcomes.
To get out of a seemingly cruel cycle,it takes patience and sensibility within yourself.Change is hard,but every step,no matter how small,is a step toward reclaiming your well﹣being.
(1)What often make people over﹣commit?
(2)What is true productivity about?
(3)Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.
By shifting from a perfectionist mindset to a growth oriented one,you will concentrate on managing emotions rather than only on achieving perfect outcomes.
(4)Besides what is mentioned in the passage,what else can you do to better manage your emotions?(In about 40 words)
9.(2025 丰台区二模) "You Only Live Once"(YOLO),a concept made popular in contemporary society through social media,conveys the desire to make the most of the present situation and cast aside all worries about the future.This mindset is considered to be the characteristic of today's youth.However,do young people truly embody the YOLO mentality,or are they too concerned about planning their future to enjoy the present?
Some young people do tend to be overly absorbed in future planning and miss out on the present,largely influenced by societal attitudes advocating the merits of working towards a life plan and future goal.In Asian societies,young people plan their futures carefully to ensure financial security for the latter half of their lives.This often means getting good education and jobs.So,many take extra classes,losing free time and hobbies.Their excessive(过度的) focus on academics,which neglects their personal nature,brings mental stress and stops them from following their passions.
Another factor driving young people to excessively plan for the future is the increasing number of world challenges.Natural disasters,conflicts,wars,and pandemics are increasing,making the job market unstable.Young people are now more pressured to consider their future in this changing world.As a result,they don't enjoy their youth as they should.Research conducted by University College London shows over half of 16﹣25﹣year﹣olds are worried about their future,with 53% believing job prospects are worsening.
Nevertheless,it's encouraging to see that more young people are stepping off the beaten path and embracing the YOLO philosophy.The future is uncertain,and it's natural for young people to feel anxious.However,living in the moment and enjoying each experience is crucial.After all,isn't life more about the journey than the destination?
(1)What mindset does YOLO convey?
(2)What are the two main factors that cause some young people to focus more on future planning?
(3)Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.
In order to find their passions in life,young people in Asia plan their futures carefully.
(4)How do you understand the sentence "Life is more about the journey than the destination." in the passage? (In about 40 words)
10.(2025 朝阳区二模) Good news for procrastinators (拖延者):There is a way to use procrastination to your advantage.Most procrastinators make the mistake of doing nothing at all.But when you use procrastination as motivation to get things done,you can avoid doing that one thing you really would rather not do and be quite productive.It's what essayist John Perry calls "structured procrastination".
Let's say,for example,you have a number of tasks you are avoiding,in order of urgency:1)Finishing an essay;2)Responding to emails;3)Cleaning and doing laundry.A non﹣procrastinator would accomplish these tasks in order of urgency.A procrastinator would avoid doing them altogether.But a structured procrastinator would do them in reverse (反向)—using his desire to avoid writing the essay as motivation to do cleaning and respond to emails.Since he can reprogram by working on other things that are still valuable,he is actually getting a lot done.
College senior Jordan Gonen is what you might call a structured procrastinator.When he is overcome with fear of homework,he' ll preoccupy himself with what he calls"quick wins"—sending emails and writing articles for his blog."It's still procrastinating my homework,but instead of doing nothing in the meantime,I'm still getting a lot done,"Gonen says.
Once he gets through these tasks,Gonen can more easily get into the mindset of tackling his homework."A lot of these smaller tasks aren't particularly fun or productive,but if you can really knock them out really quickly over a certain period of time,then you can get a lot more done and it doesn't feel necessarily worse—you' re just working 100 percent on whatever you' re working on,"Gonen says.
(1)What is"structured procrastination"?
(2)How would structured procrastinators handle a number of tasks they are avoiding?
(3)Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.
Gonen gets through his smaller tasks first because they are fun and productive.
(4)Would you use structured procrastination in your daily life?Why or why not?(In about 40 words)
11.(2025 红桥区二模) It has been five years since I left my staff job and became self﹣employed.I remember my terror as I walked out of the office for the last time and the excitement when I sold my first piece days later.Working for yourself,setting your own hours and being responsible for your success or failure are exciting.I left my job just as summer was starting,and my first few months were as blissful as the fair days.
When winter came,an office where someone else paid for the central heating and my salary was guaranteed seemed attractive.January is tough for freelancers(自由职业者),and it was no different for me—after masses of work,I earned none,I shared my fears with some businesswomen I knew—what if the reality would be more like what I was experiencing?
Whether through choice or circumstance,the number of freelancers is rising and,if you' re just starting out,it is scary.I've been lucky that these women making money their own way shared key lessons about what it takes.
You can't feel half﹣hearted about what you do because,at some point,you' re going to have painful days.When that happens,you have to remember why you wanted this life in the first place.Don't quit your job for something that you think might be more interesting,quit it for something you can't stop thinking about.
Setting up a business is tough.Rather than waiting until all is perfect,go for the moment when it feels as if momentum (势头) is with you.Look after yourself.There is no sick pay when you are self﹣employed.You can't do a bad day's work and blame it on your boss.You are the backbone of your business and you need to prioritize your health and well﹣being.Rest regularly and find like﹣minded people to support you and lift you up when things get hard.
Finally,enjoy it.Freedom is yours and,if you can make it work,there is nothing better.
(1)What does the underlined word"blissful" in paragraph 1 mean?(one word)
(2)What bothered the author when winter came?(no more than 10 words)
(3)According to the author,why should we quit for a new job?
(4)According to the author,how can you get through difficult things?(no more than 15 words)
(5)What's your attitude towards becoming self﹣employed?Explain in your own words.(no more than 20 words)
12.(2025 西城区二模) If you listen to some self﹣improvement lectures about success,you' ll hear a familiar saying:Hustle (忙碌) harder.It sounds like success is just a matter of willpower and that the life of your dreams is within reach.Many young people are buying into this mindset,spending every waking hour working toward ambitious goals,only to find themselves worn out and unfulfilled.
Hustle culture promises success,but it often leads to burnout and disappointment.The truth is that success and fulfillment don't come from constant struggle.They come from something deeper and more sustainable:persistence(坚持).
Hustle culture praises big goals.But what the experts won't tell you is that most of those goals require a mix of timing,luck,and sometimes even genetics.No matter how hard you hustle,success isn't always within your control.Persistence culture,on the other hand,takes a different approach.Instead of focusing on massive,high﹣risk goals,it emphasizes consistent effort over time.It encourages growth,learning,and steady improvement—factors that are within your control.
Hustle culture focuses on goals,ignoring the process.It tells you to chase success at all costs,even if that means doing things you hate along the way.For example,you love podcasting(制作播客).You enjoy the connection with your audience.But if you follow hustle culture,your focus shifts to profit,audience growth,and social media engagement.To"succeed,"you have to learn marketing strategies that you don't actually enjoy.
Persistence culture,in contrast,prioritizes the process itself.It asks:Do you enjoy what you' re doing?When you love the process,you don't need external approval to keep going.Success becomes a byproduct of consistency and passion.Instead of measuring success by external factors,it asks:How can I improve?Maybe your podcast isn't getting millions of downloads,but are you becoming a better interviewer?Are you developing new skills?These are the measures that matter because they' re within your control.
(1)How do many young people feel after following the"hustle harder"mindset?
(2)Where do success and fulfillment come from?
(3)Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.
> Hustle culture focuses on massive,high﹣risk goals,measures success by external factors and prioritizes the process.
(4)How are you going to put"Persistence Culture"into practice in your daily life?(In about 40 words)
13.(2025 东城区二模) I started running competitively almost as soon as I could walk.I was three years old when I joined in my first official race.My mom and both of my brothers were runners,so the sport was built into my life from the beginning.When I was young,I enjoyed the freedom,joy,and sense of power running gave me.This pure,concentrated love of the sport gave me wings that carried me through even the toughest practices and races.
However,as I got older,pressure began to build up.I was winning,but I lost sight of my real purpose as a runner:to have fun.I even began to fear hard workouts,knowing I would be disappointed if I didn't achieve my goals.Before the final season in my high school career,I trained so hard that I got exhausted and hurt my calf.Rather than pausing for treatment and recovery,I chose to get to the line.But at last,I had to step off the track because the pain was simply unbearable.
Recovery was tough.When I was finally able to run again,I was out of shape and couldn't keep up with my team.Over the next three years,more injuries followed.But later,a famous long﹣distance runner Cathy's post changed everything for me."Every day,I make the choice to show up and see what I've got,and to try and be better.My advice:Keep showing up."With just a few words,she reminded me how simple running really is.I realized I didn't have to be perfect every day.I just had to show up and give what I had.
Now,I still run every day and have completed four marathons.Joy and gratitude are the center of my practice.Thanks to Cathy,I can always return to the calming belief that things will go my way if I just keep showing up.
(1)What did running bring to the author when she was young?
(2)Why did the author no longer enjoy running later?
(3)Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.
Inspired by Cathy's post,the author realized that she had to focus on pursuing perfection.
(4)From the story,what can you learn about"Keep showing up"?(In about 40 words)
14.(2025 河北区二模) The whole story started with a simple question"Can I paint your portrait?".
One day in the summer of 2015,Peterson was relaxing in his living room,reading the book Love Does,about the power of love in action,when his quiet was disturbed by a homeless man outside his apartment.Inspired by the book's compassionate message,Peterson made a decision;he was going to go outside and introduce himself.
In that first conversation,Peterson learned that the man's name was Matt Faris.He'd moved to Southern California from Kentucky to pursue a career in music,but he soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the street for more than a decade."I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn't shaved in probably a year,because his story,the life inside of him,inspired me,"Peterson recalled.Therefore,Peterson asked if he could paint Faris" portrait.Faris agreed.
Peterson's connection with Faris inspired him to create Faces of Santa Ana,a nonprofit organisation focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused.Peterson sells the paintings for money,splitting the proceeds and putting half into a"love account" for his model.He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet.
Many of Peterson's new friends use the donations to secure immediate necessities﹣ medical care,hotel rooms,food.Faris use the funds from his portrait to record an album,making his music dreams come true.Another subject,Kimberly Sondoval,had never been able to financially support her daughter.She asked,"Can I use the money to pay my daughter's rent"?When the check was delivered,"They both wept,feeling very grateful."Peterson recalls.
Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself.But there's more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone who's down and out.He's discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting,finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked or stereotyped.
"People often tell me,'I used to avoid homeless people,but now I see them as individuals with stories to tell,Peterson says."It's a powerful reminder that compassion can change perspectives."
(1)What made Peterson start a conversation?(no more than 6 words)
(2)What is Faces of Santa Ana?(no more than 12 words)
(3)What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?(no more than 5 words)
(4)What happened to the buyers after they bought portraits according to Peterson?(no more than 10 words)
(5)What can you learn from the story?Put it in your own words.(no more than 20 words)
15.(2025 朝阳区模拟) It happens just about every time I go to a restaurant with my daughter.I open the menu and scan the options.Then I glance at the children's menu.Often the menu is pretty similar,with the same pasta and tomato sauce.But the items on the children's menu are usually less expensive,and I'll think to myself:Wow,good deal.
If I think again for a moment,though,the deal isn't really a deal.After all,I estimated the cost of the pasta based on the adult menu,not on the actual cost of making some cheap bow﹣tie noodles and serving them simply with a red sauce.
My faulty reasoning is the product of anchoring,a cognitive bias (认知偏差) that can weaken our critical thinking.According to researchers,anchoring is when people rely on irrelevant but easily accessible facts to make judgments.Our minds give too much weight to initial impressions or numbers that influence our subsequent thoughts.In my case,the prices on the adult menu shaped or anchored my judgment about the value of the items on the children's menu.
Anchoring is everywhere in the retailing world.It's a way to make customers feel like they're getting a good deal.People tend to love big stores that offer huge "discounts" off highly inflated (膨胀的) "original" prices that have little to do with the item's actual value.Studies show that anchoring effects persist no matter how weak the connection between the anchor and the actual decision.They also indicate that anchoring affects all kinds of decisions,even those made by experts who should know better.
The phenomenon of anchoring shows that while we think of ourselves as rational and logical beings,unrelated details can have an incredible influence on our reasoning.We must make sure that we find effective solutions or we might be a victim of anchoring,dragged down by our bias,whether we notice it or not.
(1)According to researchers,what is anchoring?
(2)How do retailers take advantage of anchoring?

16.(2025 南开区校级模拟) It turns out patience isn't always a virtue.By the time Nalin Kamat was 13,the Toronto teen was well on his way to becoming a working artist.He had already had his first show at a local arts hub,showcasing his series titled Dispositions,charcoal sketches (炭笔素描) of the human body as a metaphor for his own transformation during adolescence.
Yet he wanted more﹣specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition (评审展览),where art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process.That's when he hit an obstacle,discovering that the minimum age for submission was 18.
That rejection stimulates his creation. "There was a void in the art world,and I thought it'd be really cool if I could provide the opportunity for more young artists," says Nalin,now 15.With the support of his parents,Nalin founded in 2023 Little 'EGG Gallery,a commercial studio specially for underage artists.The gallery,which is now profitable enough to break even,charges a small hanging fee for any displayed work and takes a 15 percent commission fee on sales.In turn,Little EGG helps promote young talents by showcasing their work.
Not long after opening,Ontario College of Art and Design University professor and artist David Griffin stumbled upon the gallery while taking a casual walk with his wife in their neighbourhood.An exhibition was being installed at the time,and some of Nalin's own work was on the walls.Upon meeting Nalin,Griffin says he understood that he was speaking with someone special: "a strong young artist with a really excellent idea,which was to provide a space for showing the local community the easy,natural genius of young people." A connection was formed,and Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition.
The first juried show was last spring,and the top three winners each received a$50 cash prize.Five﹣year﹣old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon.
(1)What mainly drove Nalin to start Little EGG Gallery? (No more than 10 words)
(2)How does Little 'EGG Gallery financially support itself? (No more than 10 words)
(3)What does the underlined phrase "stumbled upon" in paragraph 4 mean? (No more than 2 words)

(5)Should we follow rules or challenge them when they block creativity?Explain in your own words. (No more than 20 words)
17.(2025 河东区二模) Like many of my friends in China and across the world,I was thrilled to view the blockbuster Ne Zha 2 recently and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it!What amazed me most was the high﹣quality animation(动画)and vivid imagery used to retell this classic Chinese epic in a truly compelling way for the new age.Indeed,the film serves as an important medium to transport audiences from reality to the mystical(as in Ne Zha),to places far removed from our own neighborhoods,and to hear stories from our shared human experience.
Some of the first images that I had of China as a child were from Hong Kong kung fu films that were extremely popular in Trinidad and Tobago in the 1980s and 1990s.Besides,names of martial arts stars such as Bruce Lee,Jackie Chan and Jet Li were known in every household,giving many their first look into a world across the seas and a culture,language and way of life that,while present in my own home as a member of the small but long﹣standing local Chinese community,remained a mystery to the majority.
Later on,popular films such as Walt Disney's Mulan and the Oscar﹣winning Crouching Tiger;Hidden Dragon further enamored my generation with the stories of China,allowing us to eagerly catch up with what domestic audiences here had long enjoyed﹣a dynamic Chinese film industry telling authentic stories from their own view.
In today's world where there seems to be more division than consensus(共识),and where we seem to judge first and ask questions later,film remains a powerful medium and channel for fostering more empathy,mutual understanding and bridging divides across regions despite differences in language and cultural affinities﹣leading to a greater appreciation of the complexities,richness,and diversity of the human ing from a place of common understanding,only then can we have a more impactful dialogue on the global ambitions that we collectively vision.
(1)According to the passage,what aspects of Ne Zha 2 impressed the author most?(No more than 8 words)
(2)Why does the author think Ne Zha 2 is an important medium?(No more than 15 words)
(3)What made the author have the first impressions of China as a child?(No more than 10 words)
(4)What does the underlined word"enamored"in Paragraph 3 most likely mean?(No more than 1 words)
(5)Can films promote cross﹣cultural understanding?Give examples.(No more than 20 words)
18.(2025 通州区一模) In the quiet town of Bishop Stortford,there exists a unique Victorian shop called the Poetry Pharmacy(药房).What appears to be a regular pharmacy from the outside is actually filled with books and literary gifts inside.The founder,Deborah Alma,a poet herself,set up this magical place to bring poetry closer to people,where poems are prescribed to comfort the soul.
Deborah originally started doing poetry prescriptions part﹣time,using an old ambulance that she was driving around the country.She became known as"the emergency poet",recommending poems to people at various events like literary festivals.
After a few years,Deborah started getting tired of working outside,and she was looking for a change."I've been aware of a place for sale on and off for years.I went there,and looked through the windows﹣you can see all these dusty shelves of an old hardware store which looked like an old pharmacy.And I said to my husband,'Can you imagine all my pill bottles on those shelves?We could have a poetry pharmacy here!'"
Inside Deborah's poetry pharmacy,there is a cafe,a library,and a few rooms﹣one of which gives home to Deborah's one﹣on﹣one consultations.These consultations are designed similarly to conventional therapy session is;people are asked to share their feelings and worries to get the night poems prescribed for them."I ask what they would like to be prescribed poems for﹣and it may be something quite light,or it can be quite a profound thing;like grief or heartbreak or lack of self﹣confidence or anxiety about their future.And having listened to them,I give them the gift of a poem.These poems are all very resolved﹣they are all full of hope or optimism."
(1)What's the purpose for Deborah Alma to set up the Poetry Pharmacy?
(2)What made Deborah to have the idea of establishing the Poetry Pharmacy?
(3)Decide which part of the following statement is wrong.Underline it and explain why.
During the consultations,people share their feelings and worries,so that Deborah can provide conventional prescriptions for them.

19.(2025 河西区二模) Which of these ingredients have you cooked with or eaten,wild rice,rabbits or roses?Actually,they were part of Native American cuisine in the past.Sean Sherman is a chef from the Oglala Lakota tribe,who is attempting something remarkable.Through his company and his restaurant,Sherman is bringing these ingredients back into the public eye.
Sean Sherman grew up on the Pine Ridge Reservation.As a reservation kid,Sherman usually didn't have access to high﹣quality or tasty food.His family relied on the Commodity Supplemental Food Program,which meant canned goods,tasteless food,and powdered milk.After high school,Sherman started working for the Forest Service.As part of his job,he had to learn the names of the plants,which raised his curiosity about indigenous plants and foods.
Sherman started doing lots of research on his own,and he started his company in 2014.A few years later,Sherman opened his restaurant Owamni,where he showed native ingredients and flavors.The most significant feature of the restaurant is the native ingredients,none of which is related to European civilizations.
The vibe in the restaurant is totally unique as well.There,a lot of people are really struck by it,because it's not typical to be able to go someplace and see their native foods on the menu,see native people cooking the food and listen to native music.Therefore,it's a completely unique experience and it's something that's really special.
Native cuisine allows native people to explore their histories and cultures.It supports local businesses and comes with a host of health benefits."We should have native restaurants in every city to show the diversity and flavors of all the different tribes across North America and thus have a future where native cuisine is more widespread,and ingredients are more familiar and well known,"Sherman explains.
(1)When did Sean Sherman become interested in native foods?(no more than 8 words)
(2)What is the most important feature of Sherman's restaurant?(no more than 6 words)
(3)What does the underlined word"vibe"in Paragraph 4 mean?(1 word)
(4)Why does Sherman suggest each city should have native restaurants?(no more than 8 words)
(5)What can you learn from the story?Put it in your own words.(no more than 25 words)
20.(2025 天津模拟) When I was a child,my mother didn't force me to eat everything in my dish.She said I had to try every food three times.Her reason was the first time to try it,the second time to get over the act that you had just tried it,and the third to make sure that you don't like it.After that,if I still hated the taste,she would never make me eat it again.I think her approach is reasonable and worked almost every time﹣except with bananas,which I still don't eat now.
As I grew older,I brought that simple rule into my life.As a girl,I had been afraid of the diving board at the pool.The diving board looked like a giant monster's mouth below me.My legs shook so badly.But I had continued to make the first jump off the board.When I breathed in water,my mother jumped in to help me.Before she could even reach me.I was up and out of the pool,heading back to that diving board.I jumped off once again.More coughing followed,but I was determined to overcome this apprehension.When I got out of the pool the second time,my mom tried to cover me with a towel.Instead,I threw off the towel and kept trying.The third time there was no fear,and no water in my nose.In fact there were cheers from the others at the pool.At that point,I fell in love with the pool.
In my mid﹣thirties,I left a successful job that didn't satisfy me in order to achieve my dream of being a writer.Having been refused twice,I tried for a third time.I have been happily living the life of a writer ever since.
We are all afraid of something unknown.But how can we be sure that something won't be enjoyable unless we give it a try?

1.(2025 北辰区三模) Last summer,my tech﹣fan cousin Alex bought an advanced self﹣driving car.
One misty evening,as we drove on a narrow and winding cliff﹣side road,Alex,full of confidence,turned on the self﹣driving mode.At that time,I was nervous.holding the armrest tightly,while Alex casually scrolled (滚屏) through social media,completely ignoring the increasingly dangerous road conditions.Suddenly,a strong deer appeared in the headlights.At that critical moment,the car's sensors,which had been failing unnoticed,went wrong.Instead of braking,the car sped towards the deer.Alex,realizing the danger at the last second,tried to reach for the steering wheel,but it was too late.The car crashed into the deer,and we were shaken hard.Surprisingly,the deer ran into the woods,unhurt.We sat in the damaged car,shocked.
This accident made me reflect on technology's issues.In healthcare,AI robots,sometimes,for speed,misread symptoms,causing incorrect diagnoses.In education,speed﹣focused AI graders may score essays by keywords,missing emotional depth in student stories —like a child writing of sadness,whose words become data,not cries for sympathy.In other words,AI prioritizes speed over correct diagnosis or students' emotional expressions.Philosopher Sherry Turkle's words make sense — "We're sacrificing exactness and sympathy for efficiency."
But this doesn't mean we should reject technology.We should use it carefully and wisely.Just like a compass helps a sailor but doesn't replace his skills,technology should help our judgment,not take over.Doctors could use AI technology as an extra opinion,and compare it with their own knowledge.Teachers can use AI technology to analyze student data and adjust lessons with their own insights,and not to let algorithms (算法) control teaching.
That night,standing by the broken car,I realized that technology,for all its power,depends on us.Over﹣reliance on it weakens our ability to adapt and think.In the end,we,not machines,should shape the future.
(1)How did the author and Alex feel during the drive before the accident? (no more than 10 words)
The author felt nervous and Alex felt relaxed.
(2)What contributed to the accident of the self﹣driving car according to the Paragraph 2? (no more than 10 words)
The car's sensor failure and Alex's inattention/distraction.
(3)What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 3? (no more than 10 words)
We are giving up accuracy and understanding others for speed. / We are choosing speed over accuracy and understanding others.
(4)What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? (no more than 10 words)
We should use technology carefully and wisely.
(5)Do you consider AI technology as a tool to make important decisions in our lives?Please explain in your own words. (no more than 25 words)
No.AI lacks human judgment and sympathy,which is crucial in decision﹣making.It should be human beings who make their own decisions about their future./Yes.AI can offer data﹣driven insights to enhance the quality of important decisions.
【答案】(1)The author felt nervous and Alex felt relaxed.
(2)The car's sensor failure and Alex's inattention/distraction.
(3)We are giving up accuracy and understanding others for speed. / We are choosing speed over accuracy and understanding others.
(4)We should use technology carefully and wisely.
(5)No.AI lacks human judgment and sympathy,which is crucial in decision﹣making.It should be human beings who make their own decisions about their future. / Yes.AI can offer data﹣driven insights to enhance the quality of important decisions.
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过自动驾驶汽车事故,探讨科技依赖问题并主张理性使用科技。
【解答】(1)细节理解题。根据第二段中At that time,I was nervous,holding the armrest tightly,while Alex casually scrolled(海屏)through social media,completely ignoring the increasingly dangerous road conditions.Suddenly,a strong deer appeared in the headlights.At that critical moment,the car's sensors,which had been failing unnoticed,went wrong.(当时,我紧张极了,双手紧紧抓着扶手,而Alex却漫不经心地剧着社交媒体,完全无视愈发危险的路况。突然,一只体型健壮的鹿出现在车灯照射的范围内。就在这干钧一发之际,汽车那此前一直未被察觉地出现故障的传感器彻底失灵了)以及第三段This accident made me reflect on technology's issues.(这次事故让我反思科技的问题)可知,事故发生前作者因担忧潜在危险而紧张,Alex却因过度信任自动驾驶技术而放松。故答案为The author felt nervous and Alex felt relaxed.
(2)细节理解题。根据第二段中At that time,I was nervous,holding the armrest tightly,while Alex casually scrolled(滚屏)through social media,completely ignoring the increasingly dangerous road conditions.Suddenly,a strong deer appeared in the headlights.At that critical moment,the car's sensors,which had been failing unnoticed,went wrong.(当时,我紧张极了,双手紧紧抓着扶手,而Alex却漫不经心地刷着社交媒体,完全无视愈发危险的路况。突然,一只体型健壮的鹿出现在车灯照射的范围内。就在这千钧一发之际,汽车那此前一直末被察觉地出现故障的传感器彻底失灵了)可知,事故的直接原因是传感器故障与驾驶者分心。故答案为The car's sensor failure and Alex's inattention/distraction.
(3)词句猜测题。根据第三段中In healthcare,AI robots,sometimes,for speed,misread symptoms,causing incorrect diagnoses(在医疗保健领域,人工智能机器人有时会为了速度而误读症状,导致错误的诊断)以及In education,speed﹣focused AI graders may score essays by keywords,missing emotional depth in student stories — like a child writing of sadness,whose words become data,not cries for sympathy.(在教育领域,那些以速度为导向的人工智能评分系统可能仅通过关键词来评判作文,从而忽略了学生故事中的情感深度——比如一个孩子写下关于悲伤的内容时,其文字在AI眼中只是数据,而非渴望共鸣的呼喊)可知,AI在医疗和教育中优先速度而非正确性,并且也会忽略情感"。所以划线句意为"我们为效率牺牲了准确性和共情能力"。故答案为We are giving up accuracy and understanding others for speed/We are choosing speed over accuracy and understanding others.
(4)段落主旨题。根据第四段中We should use it carefully and wisely.Just like a compass helps a sailor but doesn't replace his skills,technology should help our judgment,not take over.Doctors could use AI technology as an extra opinion,and compare it with their own knowledge.Teachers can use AI technology to analyze student data and adjust lessons with their own insights,and not to let algorithms (算法)control teaching.(我们应审慎且明智地使用技术。正如罗盘能辅助航海者导航却无法替代其航海技能一样,技术应当辅助我们的判断力,而非取而代之。医生可将人工智能技术视为辅助意见,并将其与自身专业知识相互印证;教师则可借助人工智能分析学生数据,结合自身洞察调整教学策略,而非任由算法主导教学过程)可知,该段通过类比强调技术需服务于人类判断,而非主导决策,我们应该谨慎而明智地使用技术。故答案为We should use technology carefully and wisely.
(5)开放性试题。本题为开放性试题,答案不唯一,合理即可。否定观点示例:AI基于算法而非情感,在涉及伦理或情感判断时(如医疗诊断、教育评估),人类的主观判断与共情能力不可替代,过度依赖AI可能引发系统性风险。肯定观点示例:AI通过海量数据分析可提供客观依据(如医疗风险预测、教育效果评估),辅助人类做出更科学的决策,但需与人类专业判断结合以规避局限性,故答案为No.AI lacks human judgment and sympathy,which is crucial in decision﹣making.It should be human beings who make their own decisions about their future./Yes.AI can offer data﹣driven insights to enhance the quality of important decisions.

2.(2025春 北辰区校级期中) There are certain places on the planet where you can feel a connection with a loved one.That's the way my mother and I felt about Little Italy in New York City.The very streets brought us back to our roots that were planted before either of us was born.It's the spot where,on a hot July night in 1906,my grandfather Tony was born to immigrant (移民) parents. "I was born on the corner of Mott Street," he often said.
Last year,he passed away.My mother was heartbroken.I tried my best to console her.I often accompanied her and took her out for dinner.One Sunday,I invited her to our favorite restaurant.I found a parking space on Mott Street.We only had to walk down the street to reach the restaurant which was around the corner.After walking for several minutes,we found the weather broke.The wind from the storm whipped (抽打)our faces.The storm came.There was no time to return to our car.
"Come on," my mother said.And she grabbed my arm and pulled me into an old tenement(公寓大楼) house,which was,surprisingly,unlocked.When we entered the living room,something struck my mother and she said, "Do you think this could be the building where Grandpa lived?" She took out a pen and wrote down the number.
When we went back home,my mother took out an old box.She handed me a piece of paper which turned out to be my grandfather's birth certificate.It was the same building.With tears in her eyes,she said, "Grandpa didn't leave us and he looked out for us."
Was it a miracle or a coincidence?I didn't have a definite answer but I would rather believe it was a miracle.When Grandpa Tony was alive,he always did his best to protect us.Though he passed away,his spirit was still with us and performed the same duty.I believe that he is our guardian angel and his love will be always surrounding us.
(1)Why did the author have a special connection with Little Italy in New York City? (no more than 10 words)
Because it was her grandfather's birthplace./Because it was where her grandfather was born.

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和母亲与纽约小意大利有着特殊的情感联系,因为这里是作者祖父的出生地。祖父去世后,作者为安慰伤心的母亲带她去常去的餐厅,路上遇到暴风雨,她们躲进了一所公寓。后来发现这所公寓就是祖父出生居住的地方,作者认为祖父虽已离世,但他的精神一直守护着她们。
【解答】(1)细节理解题。根据第一段There are certain places on the planet where you can feel a connection with a loved one.That's the way my mother and I felt about Little Italy in New York City.The very streets brought us back to our roots that were planted before either of us was born.It's the spot where,on a hot July night in 1906,my grandfather Tony was born to immigrant (移民)parents.(在这个星球上的某些地方,你可以感受到与你所爱的人的联系。这就是我妈妈和我对纽约小意大利的看法。这些街道让我们追溯到在我们出生之前就已扎根于此的根源。在 1906 年 7 月的一个炎热夜晚,我的祖父托尼出生在移民父母家中,这里就是那个地方。)可知,作者和纽约小意大利有特殊联系是因为那是她祖父的出生地。故填Because it was her grandfather's birthplace./ Because it was where her grandfather was born.
(2)词句猜测题。根据第二段My mother was heartbroken.I tried my best to console her.(我母亲很伤心。我尽力去 console 她。)可知,因为母亲伤心,所以 "我" 应是尽力去安慰她,由此可推知 "console"意思是"安慰",与"comfort"意思相近。故填Comfort.

3.(2025春 南开区校级期中)One day I decided to plant a garden in our backyard,and my husband began to paint our fence.We're renters,not owners,and were growing tired of waiting for the day when we would be able to buy something,so we began turning our house into a place we could call home.
We've also taken on new responsibilities:I started volunteering at the city's animal shelter,and my husband has been volunteering for a nonprofit art gallery.Being involved in this way has given each of us an increased sense of purpose and strengthened our ties to the place we live in.
But it's not just the things that you can add to your restart that matter.I'm happy to be able to help out an elderly woman I see struggling with her bag.I know I've done something good when I knock on a neighbor's door and let her know her car lights are still on.I feel I've done my part when I find a lost dog wandering in the neighborhood and return him to his relieved owner.
No doubt it works the other way,too.As we come to care about the place we live in,the people here grow to know and care about us.It feels good to know that when we're out of town,our neighbors are picking up our mail and keeping an eye on our house for us.We're delighted when a neighbor congratulates us on my pregnancy.
This symbiotic(共生的)relationship we're building with our community is exciting and inspiring.As I watch new life sprouting up in my garden,I think about all the possibilities for laying down more roots to this place and growing along with it.And as I think about the baby growing,I am knowing we will be bringing a new person ﹣﹣﹣ a new participant ﹣﹣﹣ into this community,a community he'll call his hometown.
